My biggest catch is Typhon in the desert in Morocco....recorded by Hesiod and Appolodorus. I have a vid on my Channel about him. "[1.6.3] When the gods had overcome the giants, Earth, still more enraged, had intercourse with Tartarus and brought forth Typhon in Cilicia,95 a hybrid between man and beast. In size and strength he surpassed all the offspring of Earth. As far as the thighs he was of human shape and of such prodigious bulk that he out-topped all the mountains, and his head often brushed the stars." The vid is called "The Truth about Dragons and Giant Serpents Far Exceeds the Myths". Thank you.

The segment of Penza and the quadrant's size are based on the outdated belief that the mosasaurus possessed a 1:10 skull to body length ratio, based off of tylosaurus, but a 2014 study, along with finding the mosasaurus to be more robust than previously believed, reevaluated this down to a 1:7 ratio, although the ratio is now believed to be around 1:7.4. Penza under these ratios, would be around 12.5 metres long and 10.3 tonnes, while the quadrant, after a gdi analysis by faedino, would measure 14.5 metres and 15.9 tonnes. Also, the paper did confirm tylosaurus have the 1:10 skull to body ratio, and a specimen called bunker was estimated at 17 metres and a mass of over 17 tonnes, again from a gdi from faedino, although this mass estimate is still a work in progress. (I think)

And btw, Mosasaurs didn't rule during the entire Cretaceous, instead, they dominated the oceans during the last 20 million years of the cretaceous. Nevertheless, great video

This phylogenetic theory has been discredited. Snakes are today believed to be part of a different lineage of lizards (Ophidia) than varanids (anguimorpha). Interestingly, many studies indicate that mosasaurs are within Ophidia and that they represent a sister clade to Serpentes, however this has not been proven.

I wonder about mosasaur intelligence. Monitors are pretty smart as far as lizards go, who knows what mosasaurs were capable of.

To me their closest living relatives are probably monitor lizards, snakes could be a contemporary but the overall body plan of a Mosasaur isn't far from modern day monitors, especially water monitors. Just look at the skulls of both and you can tell they're linked and I wouldn't count out the possibility that Mosasaurs eventually over 65 million years slowly evolved to go back on land and become what would become the likes of Megalania a giant Komodo Dragon and a splinter group retained their water like tendencies to become water monitors like the Asian water monitor lizards today. That's my theory but they were probably the most formidable marine predators of their time and could probably rival most today if the Earth was warmer like it was back then.

Speaking for myself, I would go further and say that Mosasaurus is my favorite prehistoric marine beast in general. To me, it strikes this uncanny balance between being familiar (like Megalodon, Livyatan, etc.) yet also looking more otherworldly/mythical (like the ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, etc.). Plus, it is not very common to see a top niche in the Mesozoic ruled by an animal so closely related to the smaller animals of our modern age.

Last time I heard, Spinosaurus is currently estimated to be longer than T. rex but not as heavy. It sounds similar to how the giant squid is generally considered longer than the colossal squid, but most of the verified evidence suggests colossal squid has the greater maximum weight, due in-part to its bulkier proportions. And since mass is usually the go-to metric for size, that would still make T. rex the record holder for largest land predator. That is, unless some new specimens/studies come out suggesting the Spinosaurus’ maximum size was greater then previously thought.

I really find it incredibly tedious that TRex is constantly flaunted as the supreme predator of all time. Yes, it was an amazing apex predator but there are so many more in prehistory that were just as awesome if not far more so. The marine predators are definitely among those as must be the giant pterosaurs and indeed so many groups both pre and post dinosaur.

Regarding the size of Mosasaurus, I have been unable to find a scientifically rigorous source to justify the 17-18 meter sizes. This is because that estimate is based on a head-to-body-size ratio of 1:10, but this ratio isn’t really justified. More modern results gave a 1:7 ratio based on related mosasaurs and seems far more in line with ratios seen in related mosasaur fossils that actually preserve the postcranial skeleton. Some other sources have postulated 1:10 ratios with some justification, but nothing recent or scientific enough to be taken at face value. So the Penza and Giant Quadrate Mosasaurus would likely have been about 13-14 meters in length. Which interestingly puts the largest mosasaurus individuals at roughly the same size as the largest estimated Pliosaurs, and so 13 meters or so seems to have been an effective size cap for marine macropredatory reptiles… Post-triassic ones, that is… Himalayasaurus and Cymbospondylus were bigger than all of these animals and funnily enough, Mosasaur bodyplans were remarkably similar to these ichthyosaurs, almost as if history repeated itself during the late cretaceous.

How I’d love to be a fly on the wall during these times, To see all these animals interact with eachother
